And now, less than a year after she set out for the shores of Sayulita, Mexico as a single woman, Ashley is reveling in the delights of motherhood with her new son Brooks Hartman Brannen, who was born Apr. 7. And since his birth, Ashley has been sharing proud mommy moments nonstop, from the first shot of her new family...

To cuddling in bed with the dog...

To the one-month milestone...

And their first trip to the beach!

This little guy has barely been on the planet for a month, and already Ashley has done an incredible job documenting his time here, and her clear happiness at being a mom. So happy for her, and the entire family, and imagine she'll have a much more relaxing time watching the BIP shenanigans go down this season from the comfort of her own couch.
